The painting here is very special because there is an addition of Chinese people picture into the traditional Thai painting. This is different from that in Bangkok. These Chinese people include men and women and the clothing clearly represent the national identity. However, it should be noted that there was a strong connection between Thailand and China in the reign of King Rama III. Such an influence might have expanded to Luang Phra Bang, too.
